Applied Pressure

Jules' pov

"It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Edward Mann, the dearest principal of our beloved school, who was barely in office for a month." A man clad in black colored suit announced, his eyes scanning over the crowd as he spoke.

He was standing behind a podium positioned on a platform, while the rest of the students were seated here in the large hall where we were all summoned before classes could fully start.

I was seated beside Elio, in the middle of the crowd. With every student in the school gathered together in the hall right now, I realized that our population was quite plentier than I expected.

Blaze was nowhere to be found, after we got summoned, he told me he had to go take care of something. The principal whom I saw in his office yesterday when I practically got forced into, whereby I met Abdeian in there– was dead today, which meant he was probably killed overnight.
